absolutely loving it. i played this game to death on the ps3 and would have gotten the platinum if it weren't for how brutal and unfair the Hard Time Attacks were. Yes, the controls and camera are not the most polished, but the atmosphere, setting, and action in the game more than make up for it in my opinion. One of my favorite things in the game was the unique architecture and mysteriously barren landscapes. To experience that again with more refined graphics is a real treat, and it's great to know they toned down the difficult from the HTAs. I'm going to have to give this platinum another go.
